You want a detailed technical report whenever one gives their opinion here on SB?? Does this apply to positive reports also????
My opinion is based on my own experience and my staff's opinion and our students opinion. It is also strongly shaped by our experience with failures and frequency of need for repair.
Note: It isn't just performance, but it is also about reliability and down time with equipment.
It has gotten so bad with Cressi that we are indeed phasing their equipment out of our training fleet.

@RainPilot Here's a link to my review of it from 2009: Zeagle's Express Tech: The first and last BC most will ever need (or want)
FWIW, I'm sorry your feathers got ruffled here. Your opinion was soooooo strong, that I would expect some actual substantiation. You either don't have it or don't want to give it, so that's the end of it. As of this point, we knoooooow you don't like Cressi, but we still really don't know why. Don't get mad at me for your inability to convey this kind of information. FWIW, (#2) I also like overly positive opinions to be supported as well. I just find strong opinions to be more emotional than empirical. You've supported that impression. Good job.
You indicated that you 'tested' them. If you tested them, then work of breathing wouldn't be hard to come up with and would be a nice fact.

I'm not sure about your area but here cressi has an almost zero showing. If travel diving is in your life/future I again wouldn't buy cressi as their networks, outside of the EU, are nowhere near as far and wide as SP or AL, well nowhere I've ever traveled to anyway, S.E.A. I've tried their fins which I liked and computers which I didn't, dreadful manuals and not very intuitive.
